FAQ Box

I don’t have the money to pay, but I really need water. What happens if I just turn the water meter back on myself?

A $50 fine will be added to your account and the water meter will be locked. It is illegal to turn a water meter back on when it was shut off for nonpayment.
If my utility service is stopped, how and when can I get it started again?

Once utility services have been disconnected, past due charges and related collection fees must be paid in full to start services again. If you’ve made payment during business hours and service has not resumed within 3 hours of payment, please call 509.527.4423 to determine when your service will be restarted.
If I put my payment in the drop box Tuesday night or if I pay Wednesday morning will my services be disconnected?

If the field crew is dispatched to the service location before the utility billing department processes the payment on shut-off day, then the utility service may be stopped and a fee incurred.
Will my utility services be turned off if I don’t pay the same day I receive the final notice?

If the field crew is dispatched to the service location before the utility billing department processes the payment on shut-off day, then the utility service may be stopped and a fee incurred.
How do I set up a new utility account?

For new homeowners, the title company should send paperwork to automatically transfer ownership information for the water/sanitation into the name of the new owner. However, this should always be verified within a few days of signing closing papers. Please contact Customer Service at 509.527.4423 to ensure transfer details have been received.

For new renters, the property owner must sign an Owner/Tenant agreement each time a new renter takes occupancy in order to have the water/sanitation utility bill to be in the renter’s name.
I saw the delinquent notice message on my bill, but I don’t have money right now. What are my options?

Several payment options are available, including VISA and Mastercard. The back of your bill also lists local organizations who may be able to offer financial assistance.
